Technological machinery for production of polarizers

An apparatus for processing anisotropic films, comprising:

• means for holding a substrate carrying an anisotropic film,
• a processing facility provided with at least one channel or a system of connected channels, wherein the channel or system of channels is provided with an input connected to means for supplying a working fluid and an output connected to a rarefaction or vacuum system, and at least a part of the channel or system of channels is open on the side of the film, wherein the channel or system of channels includes a plurality of extended walls surrounding the open part;
• and
• means for pressing the processing facility to the surface of the anisotropic film and/or substrate to form at least one working region or a system of working regions defined by the open part of the channel or system of channels and hermetically sealed by the plurality of the extended walls.
